Why the link to Heart of Darkness?--TWaye 05:51, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Heart of Darkness reference
Part of the reason I had difficulty reading The Poisonwood Bible is that from the moment I began, I kept thinking, Heart of Darkness has already been written -- why is this book needed?
The two books share a common theme. Mainly, the attempt of the western world to impose its beliefs on Africa not only harmed Africa but, in the process, destroyed the western envoys.
[edit] Miniseries
kingsolver, in one of the latest editions of the poisonwood bible, says that she is writing a screenplay for a miniseries for the book. does anyone have any info?
